Hey everyone, I am determined start living dangerously, as I know that I desire more than anything to release this truth that has somehow set itself deep within me. Perhaps it isn't me that desires to see it manifest in/out of me - but itself looking to flow through me as though there were nothing that could possible inhibit it's natural flow, where it is only a matter of time before it's evidence creeps out, oozes, flows, even explodes with glorious fury from my being into Heaven in response to the gift of honor that Love has so graciously given to me! Oh, how wide and how deep and great is Love, for it cannot be controlled, it bears the convict's heaviest load, and rids those deserving of punishment of their transgressions and debts - and ONLY for the sake of the revelation of the power of God which creates freedom from chains, and transforms meaningless chatter into beautifully crafted, ornate poems that decode the nature of the universe and it's Creator.
How can we hold back once we come to the realization that there is a God whose love chooses to race through the earth searching for those who will recognize it? How can we hope to attain any sense of revelation, or dissect any mystery without giving up every sense of a value system that is self-centric? What mystery is there in myself that I can break down that says that I can save me from me or anyone/anything else? I MUST destroy and forget the concepts that I think I protect myself with - where I seek protection from things that are certain to harm me, and I must embrace humility, honoring the call of Love that beckons always, and desires ONLY that I require myself to give to Love what it has given to me.
Love has come with hope, vision, belief - and with those things comes a whole set of unmistakable gifts that keep giving endlessly, unselfishly to prove each other lovely, prove each other necessary and if for nothing else but to reveal that Love desires to do only what Love does - LOVE.
Oh, how the one I love stirs me with His love. Oh how great is our God, who has lifted me out of my curse, into a realm of unconditional love that changes me, that creates a clean heart in me! How great is this transformation that serves as a testament to the work of God, and how He never changes - but always works in radical ways to show others how He uses those who submit to Love to work all things out for the common good.
Hallelujah to the King called Jesus, whose loving kindness is patient, slow to anger, and always faithful to prove to me that what He offers is flawless, and how I am offered a position as an ambassador, a vessel for His character to give hope to those who have no hope, to offer a home to those who have no home, a blessing to those who have been cursed.
This love that the Father has revealed through Jesus is powerful, and may it's mercy follow me all the days of my life, offering honor to all those that it encounters, healing to all those who are broken, and life to those who are dead.
Jesus, I have been overcome by your love, and my heart, soul and mind are consumed with You, oh Lord. May your Kingdom come, and Your will be done in the Earth. Hosannah. Amen.
this is a literary masterpiece of heart gripping proportion. If one is not moved after contemplating on this then a heart translant is long overdue. May we all be overcome by Jesus' love: consumed with Him with fresh fascination and addicted with unquenchable obsession for Him forever more!
